That's right. Junior. Whoa. Grandson of President Teddy Roosevelt. Wow, of course he had a courage. So it's like Fuzzy and Cermet. Are you saying Teddy is better? Fuzzy?

A bear. Yeah, look at better. Yeah, it's all I get to get. You can't get better. I would say we're warming up. No, good. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, his father was a manager at National City Bank, which is now at National City Bank, which is not just city bank, which we all love. Love. We all love. Very,. Very helpful to everybody. So good, so good. They soon returned to the US and Kermit grew up in Oyster Bay in New York.

Okay. Frogs and oysters. Oh, what a... There's going to be a lot more of that stuff. He, yeah, that's too bad. He went to Harvard and then he ends up teaching history at Caltech in Pasadena. Nice. Now, Kermit joins the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS in World War Two.

Okay. It's an early, early version of what would become the CIA. Okay. It's intelligence, it's secret, sort of. I think they called it sort of. And we don't know what he did, because we don't know what anybody did in OSS. We know he did spend time in Egypt and in Italy and Finland. And eventually he became the chief of the CIA near East and Asia division.

Okay, so he's a mover. Sure. Soviet agent Kim Philby called Kermit the quiz essential quiet American, a courteous quote, a courteous soft spoken easterner with impeccable social connections, well-educated rather than intellectual, pleasant, and unassuming as host and guest, especially and especially nice wife. A lot of that's a Soviet guy? Yeah, Soviet agent. Yeah.

So, see, that's strange because you would imagine that that is like a red flag if you're thinking of the purpose of the CIA, it's strange. And the wife thinks not great either. Makes me feel like, well, mind your business. I mean, mind your business a little bit on this one. Are you talking to me personally about what I'm saying on this show, which is about talking and speculating and enjoying? Yeah. Yeah. Well, the year about to I'm saying on this show, which is about talking and speculating and enjoying? Yeah. Yeah. Well, the year about to air out his entire life, all his business. So no, I won't.

I'll talk about his business. Am I going to air it out? Or am I going to say, since the 1700s Persia was controlled by members of the Kajar dynasty. The Kajars liked to live large and paid for their playboy lifestyles by taking loans and giving up temporary rights to land and national resources. They of course gave it up to British and Russian powers. Sure. That's what a shitty fucking king does, right? Well, I mean, I think just a king, but yes. In 1901, the Kajar king was in a lot of debt to Russia.

So he sold British millionaire, Dandy, he's a Dandy, William Knox Darcy, exclusive oil prospecting rights for the entire country except for five northern provinces. So we're talking about larger than Texas and California combined. Wow. Because I ran huge. So Darcy paid the king 20,000 pounds in cash, which is about four million today. And he got, okay.

He got, is a shit deal. Yeah, he got, yeah. 20,000 pounds. You're really screwing me here, King. You really are. you're taking me to town. I'm over a barrel. All right, fine. Four million for billions and billions. He did get 16% of future profits. 16. 16%. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Sure. Great. Enjoy. It's possible you had no idea how to negotiate. Yeah, that's a manager's fee. Years before another king had granted a baron at Julius Day Arruder, founder of Reuters,

a news agency. Yeah. So a king had given him control over most of Iran's minds, the railway construction, the irrigation networks, and a bunch of other projects. And then in 1890, a British military officer got a total monopoly on Iran's tobacco crops. So Iran was like a fire sale.

Yeah, basically. So that Iran was just like, we don't need any of this stuff. Here, you do everything. Take everything. I mean, they needed it, but the king was just like, well, I'll sell that. Right. Um, other not called the king, but whatever. Uh, so, I ran, uh, was what, and at this point, it's called Persia, but Iran was what, and at this point it's called Persia, but I ran was what the British called

a semi colony, which is a colony in everything but name. So just, just taking advantage, just talking about it basically. Yeah. And Iran's just like, we're a country in that, of course you are. You're all a big boy. Yeah. Look at you. Yeah, and a ranz just like we're a country in that of course you are your big boy. Yeah look at you Yeah, you are a big old country standing up on your own while you give away old tobacco oil and train rides Gosh you are really quite an independent nation

Faith Charlie good job. I feel I feel I feel pretty good. You are a non believable nation look at you So I'm doing really well. I got cars and houses and chips, but all the people are starving and they don't have jobs. So it's not great, but I'm fine. You know what I mean? Hey, I'm America.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. How long did that take to put into effect? I'll give it a shot. About 50 years. Yeah. I think I can come in under that. British foreign minister, Lord Kersen, quote, the most complete and extraordinary surrender of the entire industrial resources of a kingdom

into foreign hands that had probably ever been dreamt of. Wow. So, yeah, so legit. Yeah. So it's like a wet dream for colonialists. Yes. Yeah. So over the years there were boycotts, there were communist movements, a secessionist party, all that kind of stuff. And in the summer of 1906, 12,000 Persian men camped out in the British Embassy gardens demanding they get a constitution. Okay. So over five years, they wrote and ratified a constitution and they created a democratic

parliament of representation called a Majlis. Okay. Majlis, I'm trying to read it. Yes, sure. We'll go with Majlis, obviously. How you spell that? Not my native, like, M-A-J-L-E-S. Majlis, yeah, I like that. Majlis. I think that'll be fine. not my native, like M-A-J-L-E-S.

Magelies, yeah, I like that. Magelies. I think that'll be fine. That's the fun I'd explain. They kept the king. So it's a constitutional marigay. That's what they have, 1906, or 1911. King's not popular.

You could imagine why. Well, yeah, because he's selling everything piecemeal. Yeah. Yeah, and having parties, basically. So he agrees that he would limit his power largely to the control of the military. So he's just going to kind of have control of the military. And then he died of a heart attack 40 days later.

So he even sold his heart. Yes, he sold his heart to the British. To the yep. Persia was a majority Shi'ai Muslim country. The Ayatollah was very influential, but not like now, not like the Supreme leader. Right. Right. So like, yeah. So Darcy, the guy, the British guy, his men find the largest oil well ever,

the history of the world. And so the British government has a new corporation formed the Anglo Persian oil company. What year is this again? This is... I don't have a date in here. Roughly. I think it's like the 20s.

Okay. I know it's... Yeah, I think it's the 20s. It might be the 30s. But the Anglo-Persian oil company eventually becomes BP. Should I just call it? Nice. So cool.

Churchill saw a world war coming and he knew oil was going to be the difference maker. So Anglo-Persian slash BP took control with the British government spending 400 million today to buy 51% of the company. Okay. So majority owners. Classic, just, yeah. So Anglo Persion gave first priority and a really big discount to the British Royal Navy. Okay.

Which does nice. Okay. Which does nice. Yeah. The company built the world's largest oil refinery on the island of Abaddon in the Persian Gulf. It's one of the hottest places on Earth. I was going to say, I bet the inhabitants were like, wait, what are you doing?

It's like, it's not going. Let's go right. Yeah. Excuse me. It's like, it's not good. Let's go. Yeah. Excuse me. It's very smoky. It's, yeah, it's not good here. We had just like a little island before. Yes.

Now you've got a lovely industrial nation. Look at you. Job way. Well, we just had like, we were just like rolling with like goats and like, we had little shacks. We're doing great. Like we had a nice little setup. Well, the goats have passed. You will too. Cards. Good for you. Why are you whistling after saying I'm enjoying myself. When you get weaker, we get stronger. Do you understand?

Yes. I eat your sadness for happy. I know you do. You're a player. Yeah. Vampire. Look at me. I'm like another ugly Alfred Hitchcock. And that's saying something. I don't know. So almost all the technicians and administrators are British. They have really fancy homes. They have air conditioning, terraces, tennis courts, swimming pools, lawns, right? Highest place on earth. Got to have a lot. You got to imagine the first guy who had air conditioning, everyone was like, what? Are you talking about what is going on? You got fridge air? At the same time, on this island, a hundred thousand Iranian laborers live in dormitories with primitive sanitation, or they lived in a slum called Kaga'zabad.

It sure is bad. It's also called paper city. So there's no running water. Nice. It's pool paper city. So there's no running water. Nice. It's pool. Nice. So there's no running water. This is awesome.

This is such a, this is cool. This is like the blueprint. There's no electricity. This is like going to the first McDonald's. The walls, our paper, of what they live in, are made of oil drums hammered flat. Cool.

That's so cool. That's good for the heat. Yeah, and I'm sure those are thoroughly cleaned and, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah. In winter, it flooded and became a lake. So mud was knee deep. Canoes would run along the roads for transportation.

Oh, you mean mud canoes? Those are effective too. Also small nipping flies bred in the stagnant water and rose up in clouds so thick they jammed the refinery fans. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh my God.

It's like Fantasia. Hey, what's the worst place I can live? I honestly, meanwhile, they're like, my air conditioner goes all the way down to 50. You're like, I'm like, good Lord. I'm going for for swim in the pool

So in summer when and sandstorms came off the desert and the metal Shanties made of the oil barrels became ovens Cool the alleyways are full of rats Cool. The alleyways are full of rats, grocery store clerks sat in barrels full of water to stay cool. Oh my God, like just someone who got branded, like in a cartoon.

What do you mean branded? They like one in like a, don't make me. Oh, like in a cartoon. Oh, I go with like, so it's branded like, yeah, yeah, like a bread. Oh, it gets it. It's like Yeah, so that's how he was just kind of Working at the store. Yeah, he's just working at the store and a barrel of water I guess it could be cool But meanwhile the British are seriously just like oh, I might have to put a jumper on

Yeah, very cheap. Very cheap. Yeah. And people are putting our assing barrels. The air is always very heavy with sulfur fumes. Nice. They're finally burnt thousands of barrels of oil a day. So, abadons, new shops, cinemas, buses, and water founts were all

marked not for iradians. Oh, man, this is, this is sad. There's a lot of, there's a lot of, there's a lot to pinch. Oh, we had a thought of that. Ah! Actually, yes we have. We came to your country and you can't do nothing here. Yeah. Yeah, it's a fucking nerve.

Weij is a 50 cents a day. It's remarkable. 50 cents a day. 50 fucking cents a day. It's remarkable. It's really remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's really remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable.

It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable.

It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable.

It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. words. So, okay, so this is before World War One. So World War One was won by the allies due largely to their access to this Persian oil. And in 1914, Anglo-Persian extracted 300,000 tons of oil from Iran. In 1920, it was 1.5 million tons. So they're just second right? Yeah. They're like Nestle with our water. Yes. Muhammad Mo Sadeg was born in Tehran in 1882 and he was from a very well-off political family, very, very established. He was educated, he was trained in law,

and at 16, he got his first government post, chief tax auditor for his province. And he learns the complexity of public finance and the corruption of the Godjars dynasty. So when, yeah, he was probably like, once you find a person who's like actually trying to like, this is crazy. Do you understand this is totally insane?

Guys, this is fucking insane. This is insane. The crazy is they're really, they've broken a lot of the tax laws. Did you guys know that? So just shut up and put your ass in a bucket. So in 1906, there's elections for the Mojles and he wins. He wins a seat. Okay, but you had to be 30 to serve. He's only 24, so he couldn't, he won, but he couldn't take the kick. Okay.

Maybe they didn't think about that when he was running. Yeah, I was going to say, yeah. I mean, well, it's like, you know, George Santa. Yeah, yeah, every part, you're like, probably not. He's great. He's awesome. I love him. He will be missed. Mo Mossad was a very dramatic politician. He he suffered from partially psychosomatic digestive illnesses or ulcers,

hemorrhaging stomach secretions and fits, and he had breakdowns. Those don't sound, I mean, I guess, okay, so they're right. I mean, also, I guess this can be a brain thing, sure. Well, I crazy to think. Maybe it's a way of just saying, you know, stress induced. Yeah, right. He was, he was very passionate, very eloquent speaker. Sometimes he just tears would stream down his cheeks

or he would faint during speeches. Wow. Like, it's a little amazing if we had a guy who cried all the time. I mean, do we? We gotta have one. No, we've never had a guy that cried all the time. We've got to throw down a couple of times. If you like me, what if John Bainer, he would cry all the time.

Yeah, but he just cried once or twice. No, he cried all the time. I mean, the guy who cried all the times. Yeah, I guess he did. He got older, he cried. But he was, he saw what was coming. Yeah. Yeah, no, he went into the weed industry.

He was like, oh, cool. Awesome. Yeah, yeah. So, essentially, the Shi'ai practice had normalized public emotion. So his, his like sentimentality is crying. It was celebrated for like having, like they were like, he has empathy for the people. All the suffering that's going on. Yeah. So in 1925, General Reza Khan Pa, I should have looked this one up, Pa Lavi, led a coup and took the throne. Okay. So the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the Now they established the House of Palavri. And Reza Khan had been born a peasant,

and then he rose up to general. And when subordinates didn't follow his orders, he liked to kick them in the balls. I feel like you could get behind that one, right? That feels like a... I think that's an important thing that should come back. Yeah.

I'm all about the worker, also I'm all about kicking my big balls. Yeah. Yeah. Now, his seven-year-old son, Muhammad Orozah Palavi, became crown prince of Iran. So Shah Orozah believed that fathers showing love to their sons made their sons gay. Okay, cool. Great to be his son. So he weathheld all the fiction for Muhammad Raza until he was eight.

So nothing until he was eight. No hugs, no. So he just made sure he wasn't gay and then he was like, okay. Then he knows he's not gay. Well, you're not gay. I think you cleared the hurdle. Come here.

I do love you. At 11, the Crown Prince was named Colonel in Crazy in Colonel in chief of the the crack regiment of the crack regiment. The the top. The Okay. All right. Yeah. That was beat to me. Sharp. What? I have a 11 year old in charge. Yeah, who probably be to be shot. What? I haven't been a living-year-old in charge. Yeah, who probably doesn't know anything and, you know, no clue. Yeah, it's gotta be.

We're gonna run and get them. I'm gonna get them good. But that's just so, uh, that's just so royal shit. Yeah. We're just like, oh, so there's a child in charge of that. Well, it's like, it's also so funny when you see, um, I think it's George, the, the air, you know, the eventual king of England, that little kid.

And you're like, three year olds going to be a king with sure. She's like, what? It seems weird. Was it William, someone who's married to Kate? Yeah. He's really, uh, it's impressive Kate? Yeah. He's really, it's impressive, ugly he's becoming. Yeah, yeah, I've got some jokes about his looks that I've been doing among them that, you know,

if that were to be like, if that were to kiss sleeping beauty, she'd be like, how have I been a pass out again? I'm out. Yeah, it's just like the way that they label prints. It's also like, and then people are like, oh, you don't physically, I think you can physically shame people like that. I think if you have that much money in your people,

I'll start being and then like, yeah, I think we're allowed to do this. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, fucking, we can make fun of the fucking royals. Yeah, because he looks like the ghost of a bird. No, but then all the in-bred people will feel weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Shah Raza is obsessed with modernizing Persia and its image. This is when the name gets changed by Rha'an,

because he's trying to make it more cool. Wow. That's like imagine, imagine a really rich guy having no clue that just changing the name of something doesn't actually buy you any cloud or give you any sort of restart. It's just a stupid, useless rebranding that honestly confuses more people than it helps.

He today, that interview he had, where he's out of his mind on drugs. Oh, he, him. He says, exploit. Someone, someone brings up like tweeting and he's like, well, it's not a tweet. We need a new name for it, you know, posting whatever. And it's like tweeting. You've literally had the most branded name of posting something to a social forum.

It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's like when Prince turned his name into a symbol. Yeah. And you're like, no, Prince, you're Prince. I don't know what to do with this. I'm this thing now.

Yeah, this is me. You'll call me this. Usually hangs from a white witch's neck. It's like necklace, but that's my this. Usually hangs from a white which is neck is like necklace, but that's my name. But, but it is true. It's like, I mean, I just love watching the people try to defend that thing last. I mean, he was just lost his mind in front of everyone. And some people are just like, they're falling right into his little trap. This man is melting down. So he, so Shahrezza forbade photography things that he thought made Iran look backwards

like camels. What? Jesus Christ. You can't take camel pictures. No, no, because then people will be like, what's this dumb? What? They got sick horses there. They have fucking horses are fucked up. Oh, man. He how old were you when you realized that their water wasn't stored in the hump?

Well, like 12 I think I was probably about 39 13. Oh Still not sold. He forced thousands of peasant families into mass settlements. He built modern universities and opened the studies of law and medicine to women. He wanted Western dress. He wanted that as a symbol of modernization. And in 1935, he ordered men to wear European bowler hats. The idea that you're going to be like,

we are an up-to-date nation. Now everyone put on a bowler hat. Have you seen the movie Swingers? Yeah. That's our country. All right. Here's a problem with the Boller Hat. Hot.

Brem, right? These are people. These are Muslims and they pray, I think five times a day. And when they pray, they're supposed to touch their forehead to the ground. That's required by Islamic law. They can't with a fucking bull or hat on. It is tough. Huge protests.

And they're quashed by the army. We're not going to take this, are we boys? Show them! Okay. A hundred to five hundred people are killed. We're not gonna take this are we boys show them? Okay a hundred to 500 people are killed Jesus Christ. Yeah Jesus Christ The next year Shah Resah banned he jobs in public. This is so Okay, forcibly removed women's hijabs, is it hijabs? I think hijab, but yeah. I don't know.

Hijab, yes, because the A's are extended, the hijab in the street. And so it's the exact fucking opposite of, like what about some middle ground? So it's exact opposite. Yeah. Of like what about some middle ground? So it's exact opposite of today. So if a woman was wearing a hijab in the street, they would, they would beat them off. They would take it off and beat them.

It's the fucking exact, it's the exact thing, but the switch, it's crazy. These people like, just a fuck. Yeah, it's hard to keep track. All right, I finally got rid of it. I'm wearing that bowler hat. No, you're not. What?

So, Shaw Resa made a Mosad DeG minister of finance because he's so popular, right? But Mosad DeG launched an anti-corruption campaign that threatens Shah Resa and his friends. And then he is forced to resign. Yeah. Hey, did you, what? No, that's not what I'm getting real busy. I'm getting real busy. Yeah. No, no. Going through all the books, you know, I asked you to go through all the books, go through the oil books. Shut up. You know why I asked you to run, right? You know how many cars you have that have robot.

Yeah, a lot. A lot of cars. I love cars. Yeah, but you're not supposed to, you don't need mint coats. It's, I do. That's not what I need you to run for. Listen, I'm shutting down your campaign, okay? When you tell people that you used to run, you'll just have to say, I ran. What? See you later.

Okay, bye. Bye. So then Mo Asad Tag runs for the Majlis and on the free elections and he runs on free elections in oil and nationalization. And it's a people like, fuck yeah. Yes, oil and nationalization. Yes. He wins easily.

He speaks often and he attacks British Russian American intervention and he calls for Iranian self-determination. Oh, come on. We've got this. Quiet. You're ours. Yes, enough of this popping off. I think we can handle all this.

You want your foot or oil. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Quiet now, Ration. You want your for your oil? Bipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipip Let's all just really like whoa, whoa he is a thug. Yeah, right. That's why. So, Shahrez a rigged the 1928 elections and his opponents lost. Okay. So, most of the agratires to his country estate,

he's living in isolation. And in 1933, Shahrez a threat and to cancel the Darcy concession. Your dog is having a moment. You're not coming up a heroin? He's rubbing his face. He's just the amount of like refusing to figure it out. He's all right.

He's all right. He really is. A lot of face, a lot of face actually. A lot of face stuff and a lot of like back and forth, the different ends of the couch, try to get it right. He's out of moment. Yeah. Okay. So, he's going to threaten the deal with the Darcy, right?

The British dude. So an old friend who worked for the company comes and old friend is the Shah who's also like in with the Brits, comes and in two days they hammer out a new agreement. The Darcy concession was reduced by 75%. Iran was guaranteed at least Iran was guaranteed at least 975,000 pounds a year. And the company agreed to improve conditions at Abadan, which they never did. Some of those people are still alive? Yes, well, they come and go.

They'll mostly go. Right. Um, so Shahraza extends a concession until 1961. I mean, dude, that's almost 30 fucking years. Like, yeah. It's a shit deal. Again, shit deal. What are you doing? And that, so he's, so after 30 years, that it all just returns to the other way.

Or he'll just make a new deal. Right. So after 30 years, then it all just returns to the other way. Or he'll just make a new deal. Right, right. I mean, essentially he's giving away the oil that's, you know, for just cheap, but, you know, he also can't provide it himself, whatever. Right. So, so he also doesn't like, memory doesn't like the name Persia.

So he has the Anglo Persian oil company renamed the Anglo-Iranian oil company. The focus is in the right spot. It's definitely hats, hats, re-gaming. Yeah, it's rebranding. So most of that is devastated. He's so devastated that his mouth begins bleeding profusely. Come on. Yeah. And he has to go to Germany to consult specialists.

Oh my God. And they can't find a reason his mouth is bleeding. What? His mouth just starts bleeding. Have you talked to a psychiatrist? Ah! What have you been eating? Resus?

Glass. And rock. No. Standard. Rocks. Nope. And standard. Needles. Not necessarily. Resurably. This could be psychosomatic.

Yeah, I think it's in my head. Yeah, it is in your head. It's in your mouth. It's all nuggin' oh. You guys are fun. The Germans are known for their comedy. Yeah, you are. You guys are good.

You guys are good. We're pretty naughty ourselves. Don't comedy. Yeah, you are. You're gonna be pretty with pretty naughty ourselves. Don't you? Yeah, yeah, you are. For those are way to get everyone's mouth to speech. You're gonna get super naughty in like eight years. Hey, come on. Leave us be. Who wild?

So they can't find a reason for the bleeding mouth. The sugar mouth is just bleeding. Sure. Maybe somebody's hearing about him. bleeding mouth, the German mouth is just bleeding. Sure. Maybe somebody's hearing about him. In 1940, soldiers come to Mossadeg's house, looking for evidence of subversion,

and they don't find anything, but they arrest him. What are they looking for? To see if he's like, I'm here, I mean, the government, to try to start a revolution. You know, if you're gonna have a revolution, you have like a doodles around. No, some version banners over here. What about any of those number one fingers

that seems aversive? Nope. All right. Why do you keep writing Persia? Yeah. So they, but they rest him anyway. And he protests. And he's not charged.

He hasn't been charged. So he's like holding me as illegal. You can't just arrest me. If holding you as illegal, then I don't want to be right. And the chief said the only law he knew was Shah Reza's will. Any orders Mo Sadeg imprisoned indefinitely without charges.

So where we last left our sexy sexy, our hero sad dad is he's in prison without charge. Well they had to drag him to the car out of his house that to physically drag him. Of course. On the way I don't know how this happened. On the way to the prison he tries to kill himself by overdosing on tranquilizers. Wow.

So I don't know if they were just like help help yourself to the, we have all kinds of things. Or he snogs some in. You'd think you would ingest, yeah, they must have. He must have, he must have just had them with him or. But you would take them in the house. Why would you go to the car? So maybe he just keeps him in his pocket. Still, it's hard to know, it's hard to know.

In my mind, it's a car, in the back of the car. There's a medicine cabinet and they're like whatever you need you've done your homework Dave But he doesn't die he just falls into a coma So he's in jail for a while He tries to kill himself with razor blades in jail He also goes on a hunger strike. And then after months, he's allowed to return home, but to be under house arrest.

So he's having a good time. Yes, horrible. So for Nazis and the Allies, Iran is the key to victory, just like the last war, right? It's oil. So both sides are now trying to woo Shah Resa. And the Germans offer him, besides other things, they offer him a steel mill that he's really wanting. He really wants a

steel mill. It's just the kind of like when you're a king, you don't know because you're just a guy. But if you're a king, I want a steal mill relaxed dude. You do want to steal Yeah, absolutely to make all this deal And mill form. Yeah, and have an area where it's all made Okay, all right. I just didn't know you're a steel mill guy. If you're gonna start accusing me I'm not really knowing what it is don't I want to on oil barrel factory How about a house? Yes I want to, on oil barrel factory.

How about a house? Yes. Man, if you're an oil barrel. Yes. In 1936, the Hitler cabinet decreed that quote, I ring nice to, by the way, it's just nice to hear that name again. It really is. And the Hitler cabinet is where you should keep tranquilizers. The Hitler cabinet decreed that quote, Iranians were exempted from the restrictions

of the Nuremberg racial laws as pure blooded Aryans. Oh my God. What a fuck. It's so. It's bullshit. Imagine getting fascist where your racism can be loopalled by oil. It's bullshit. Imagine getting from the level where your racism can be loopalled by oil. It's like the peak. The, the, the, the way that we, we're just, it has to stop because it's been like, that's all it is now. That's just what it is. It's just, I mean, that's the thing about the whole, the whole racial is whole thing. Well, it isn't the right because he fought. He made the lines with the Japanese.

He made the lines with the Japanese. They're not fucking white blonde. There were Pakistan and soldiers fighting with the Nazis in like, it's all, it's all just fascists. It's just, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's, fucking bullshit. It's talking, yes, it's like, yeah, everything can be bought. Yeah, fuck it, hey. I just, I would point out that I'm not disappointed by Hitler. Don't get me wrong. No, no, no, no, because I would do that reddit thread. get me wrong. No, no, no, no, because I would get you to that reddit thread.

The American legal system sometimes classified Iranian immigrants as legally white and sometimes did. It's so horrible. It really is. He got the head. He got to the rest of America. Reese Witherspoon's best movie, legally white. It is so incredible. It just, it's a fine, that my complaint with this is such a tight rope to walk that I don't even want to. But it's like, it's. You're just, it's all so viable that it's just, and then the term legally white, like, legally white is really tremendous. I want to renounce white. But I will say this, when the final solution kicks in in Germany, start what it kicks off. Iran uses that 1936 decree to save a bunch of Iranian Jews. Okay.

Because he's like, well, they're white. And Hitler was like, oh my gosh, Jesus. Loophole. I knew I'd be eating those words. So thousands of thousands of Iranian Jews received Persian passports and saved them from death. Wow. Okay. In 1941, the Allied powers invade Iran and Shah resa surrenders. The Allies then tell him to hand the throne to his son, Muhammad Raza, and so the

Shah flees and dies in exile. Now, most sad Dehran for his old seat in the Majlis and was elected with more votes than any candidate. So, Shah Maha Meraza, not a hard ass like his dad, but also not a strong leader type. Okay. You know, like a fell son. Right, right. He spent most of his life partying. He liked flying planes.

He was in the drive in expensive cars, openly cheating on his wife. He's a party boy. He's a party boy. Yeah, he's a fuck boy. Yeah So the British immediately tell Shah Muhammad Araza to appoint a pro-British prime minister and he did and then they just ran Iran right the British So the Allies just took huge amounts of oil and they built supply bases in Iran

where they could launch military operations all over the Middle East and North Africa. General H. Norman Shikopf, Schwartzkopf. Oh, dude, I was like, wow, that's so weird. It's a pussy. Schwarzkopf. Oh, it's his dad. It's his dad.

It's his dad. Yeah, it's Papa. Oh my God. And then one night he was with his wife, and he was just like, I'm gonna launch a strike into your womb. But how crazy is it that the guy who nailed it? It's ridiculous. So this guy's in Iran, and his son then does Iraq.

Yeah. It's crazy. It's like crazy, but then it's also the longer you watch it, you're just like, obviously, so not crazy. Yeah, of course he did. Of course, yeah, of course, because it's not genetic, it's just opportunistic, you know. It's, yeah, it's nepotism.

Yeah. Opportunistic, you know, it's yeah, it's nepotism. Yeah So Shaka spends a decade in Iran training Resas police force and secret intelligence service standards of living Fall Freiranians Nice prices go up nice There's very poor harvest, which leads to hunger.

And then the remaining food is just being diverted to military use. It's just, it's so, If you can imagine, it's so awesome to be used to it. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Is what I'm feeling. Well, it's amazing how there's just no difference

between like the 1600s and in the 1950s. No, we're just the model is... And now today, it's still working. I know I was just going to say, and like, exactly the same... Shit. Yeah, same shit. In 1950, Anglo-Iranian is extracting 16.5 million tons of oil from Iran a year. Half of the profits, of course, go to the British government because they have 51%. In 1949, so they're taking

the oil and selling it. It's not theirs, they're taking it, and taking the profits. Yeah. And it's a great deal. It's a great deal. It's a great deal. It's a great deal. It's a great deal. In 1949, the company paid the British government 22.8 million pounds in taxes and distributed 7.1 million to shareholders

and put 18.4 million in reserve and gave just 13.5 million in royalties to Iran. You know, it feels like the brits are doing great off it. They're doing really good off this. Really good. It's almost like this is what I get is I'm just like the mafia is just everywhere. The mafia is just capitalism a lot of time. Yeah, no. I was, yeah, I, and I was just talking like to a relative of mine about the NHS and how much worse it's getting to turn

it into, to privatize it. And it's so like, it's just the model of this system is just never ending night marriage. It's going to kill everyone and everything in its path. And the people who are a top it are never going to tell you that it's totally fucked. So it's just like. Same shift. Yeah. Did you watch the Pranos? Yeah, I did. Shiv. Yeah. Did you watch the Pranos? Yeah, I did. Already the guy who owns the restaurant and then we take it over and then they're just taking everything out. Yeah, it's the same fucking thing. Yeah. What's the difference? Yeah, no, no difference. Um, so our food for the British worst food. Yeah, much worse. So Iran is the world's fourth largest oil exporter and supplies 90% of Europe's gas. Jesus Christ.

Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin wrote that without Iranian oil, there would be, quote, no hope of at which we are aiming in Great Britain. Just be okay, Britain. Well, so there's stilling. So, yeah, so fully just in order for us to be happy, theft is necessary. It's just great. It's also great to be able to say it. That's the other thing. The point is not loud forever.

Yeah. Yeah. Avadon workers go on strike for better conditions. Oh, come on, they have it all. They live inside oil drums. It's eating. Great. They live in oil. Be thankful. So the British organized ethnic Arabs and person separatists into a bogus union and send it to confront the strikers. Wait, so they fake a union? Yeah, they basically go, I mean, they fake a union to tell.

They create a scab union essentially right. And then they're like, you're going to fight these guys. And so they go and they do. And if bloody terrible writing breaks out, dozens die. It only ends after company directors, grudgingly agree to observe Iranian labor law, which they never do. Oh, Jesus Christ. So the breakthrough is that they said they'd observe it. Yeah. And then they're just like, nah, it ain't exact.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll do that. Yeah. Get back in your microwave, boy. Go on. Mo said, Daghagger and others in the Mojles keep calling for a better deal. I don't like I like it.

I'm worried about them. So 10 of them submit a bill to revoke the Darcy concession. It's getting pretty heated. So Brits can no longer ignore this movement. That's happening. So they meet with the Shah and come up with the supplemental agreement. I bet it's kind of more royalty payments. or royalty payments. Okay.

And a reduction of drilling area. So they don't control as much. What, like they could fucking drill everywhere anyway. It's the same thing as now where the oil companies just have tons of fucking lease land. So much so they can't even actually drill in all the places. Yeah, and it's pretty much the same thing with the concessions that they're making.

We'll plant some places. Yeah, and it's pretty much the same thing with the concessions that they're making. We'll plant some trees. Yeah. Iranians can still not see the company books or have a voice and management. That's fine. And the British said that's their final offer. And Britain, policymakers from the foreign office. It's so amazing that it really is incredible that the Brits are like, oh, we're walking away from the way we steal from you.

We'll continue to do it the other way. Final off. Final off. Or we'll keep stealing. Yeah, it's not your lay. I think we do the final offer thing. That's it. We're taking your oil and going home.

I mean, I guess the threat is always like, they'll just invade and kill everybody. Well, all right. We're not talking about the Brits. Come on. So in Britain, policy makers from the foreign office, the Navy, the Bank of England, and the Ministry of Fuel and Power formed a working party

on Persia. It commissioned studies, including one on Iranian psychology. Oh God. Why, what do you mean? Well, we've just never any time. We've got a bad feeling. We've got to get into the brain game, man. What makes the tick?

Because then it's, it's the language is gonna be horrible. What is it? Why would you say that? It's gonna be bad. When did the British ever look down on indigenous people? I think at some point there an animal will be referenced and then it'll be all better. I'm a professor. Quote, the ordinary Persian is vain.

Unprincipled. Eager to promise what he knows he's incapable or has no intention of performing. What did to procrastination? Lacking in perseverance and energy, but amenable to discipline. I think what you're picking up on is that they want you to fuck off.

Oh! I think everything about that was really just like, yeah, no, we don't like working for you. Yeah, no, you're terrible. Unless you're violent, then okay. I guess we have no choice. Above all, he enjoys intrigue and readily turns to, I can't read this, provocation and dishonesty. So like sneaky lies and Again, I mean, this all falls under your pseudo occupation of their land. He's eight. No, quick. I read that I read it. Hold on. He is a he's a sneaky liar who lays about because we hate you. Yeah, because we hate you and you You'll promise whatever whatever I just want you to go

There's no energy, but if you beat him Yeah, quick to fibbing fibbing fibbing Um Although an accomplished liar he does not expect to be believed Although an accomplished liar, he does not expect to be believed. It's just like they're just like one of the worst things we can come up with in the file. Yeah. Yeah.

They probably, but they probably just pulled this from like their old like Native American file. Probably. Oh, you know, you know how they are. They're not white. Quick to hang out. Don't love having us there. Oh, the British installed a new Iranian prime minister.

He was soon assassinated by an Islamic fundamentalist. So the British insisted the Shah nominate a British friendly politician. Oh, this got cut off. Winston Churchill. Okay, Said Zia. So when the Majlis debated Zia's nomination, everyone expected Mo Sadadeg to lead the opposition with a big long speech of tirade against the British. So he's either tired or corrupted. Well, that didn't happen. He just sits there very quietly. Everyone's just like waiting

for him to do something. So a right wing guy who is on the British payroll, because right wing guys are always the worst. Takes the floor and just goes into a vicious, better attack on Mo Saddeck. And he said, at some point in this, he goes, Mo Saddeck should try being prime minister himself to see how hard it is. Oh my God, idiot. You idiot.

He called Mo sad dig a windbag who liked talking but never offered anything positive. Oh, there's so many sad. And then he sat and Mo sad dig was quiet. Here's what I wanted. I wanted him to either run or try to strangle this guy. Well, he waited for a nice dramatic pause. And then he said he was honored and grateful.

And would in all humility accept the offer of being Prime Minister. Yes, yes. What did he just say? Oh, sorry. I mean, he must have known that they would stand up and be like, what do you want to be Prime Minister? Like, like,

I imagine, I bet you, I imagine, I bet you, who's there? Who's trying to be prime minister then? I got him by the balls, that's all windbag. I love that there's always a right wing guy that'll throw us people under the bus.

Like there's always a fucking guy that's gonna work with a British or work with whoever. That's always. Yeah, of course. I mean, that actually is, you know, it's an, I mean, that's essentially when we send people into government for change, that's essentially what they do.

They essentially just go like, yeah, I'm here to fix it. And then they're like, ooh, dinners. Ooh, cars. So now they take a vote. And he wins 79 to 12. Wow. Mo Saddegg said he would only be Prime Minister if the

Mochless also voted to nationalize anglo-Iranian Wow, so he's like the only way I do this is if I cast company becomes Nationalized or I'm not doing it. So they did wow This is a so that that British guy nationalized or I'm not doing it. So they did. Wow. This is a, so that British guy must have been beaten with hats and canes on the right. Not British. He's Iranian. Oh, sorry. That array. Yeah, he must have been just beaten mercilessly. Oh my God. They were like, what in the fuck did you do? I really stepped in it. I like did. Then it seemed so good.

The speech seemed so good when I was writing it. Now imagine if he didn't take the deal. So they do it. And Mo said, deg, assembles his cabinet and takes the office in the spring of 1951. Shah Mohammed Reza signed the law for the national Iranian oil company to take over.

It's shocking. It's shocking that it worked. It's shocking that it worked this quickly. Yeah, but you know, again, you have a sort of a popular uprising happening. Like this is bubbling up. Like, you know, it's, so the British are terrified. Giving up control of Iranian oil is going to lead to nationalizations of other commodities in all their colony, colonial takeover, bullshit south, the Southeast Asia, south everywhere, like they're like scared. Sure.

Latin America grease, like they have everything. Yeah. They might need to do something. So Britain appeals to the UN's world court saying they should have control of Anglo-Iranian oil, but lost. Good. So, then they sabotage the Abaddon refinery.

They boycott Iranian oil. They withdraw their administrators. They repossess all of their oil tankers, and they send several diplomats to try to negotiate with Moe Saddeck. But he's not budget. His argument was Iran's oil, like its rivers, mountains and soil belong to the Iranian people. It's interesting that ours doesn't though. Isn't that odd?

Yeah, no, it's certainly strange. Mo said that. But other countries, there's, there's due. But to the same, but not to us. And then ours don't us. It's weird. Yeah. Strange.

It's weird that the ones that do nationalize it, we vilify like Ben and I. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So he goes to the US. Most of that goes to the US. He said, dead goes to the US, he gives a fiery speech at the UN. Before they meet, he's gonna meet Truman,

sorry, it's gonna meet the president, he gets a profile of Mo said, dead. And it said he was supported by the majority, the population, he was supported by the majority of the population. He was witty, he was affable, honest, well informed. At the exact same time, the British described Mo said, DeG in cables as wild, erratic, crazy, gangster-like,

fanatical, absurd, dictatorial, demagogic, inflammatory, cunning, slippery, completely unscrupulous, clearly imbalanced, wily oriental, who looks like a cab horse and defuses a slight reek of Obyum. Oh my God, just, Jesus Christ, it's like a post when someone breaks up with you. Ah! Ah! That is the,

it's like, like you could probably sell us, you could probably sell your people on it if you weren't so over the top with. So over the top. Like the marriage is like, nice, actually, it's pretty smart. It, it, it talks and chooses this matter and he's got web feet in a tiny cock he's a shit beast he's awful no he seems like a gentleman we just imagine a dog shit became a man no he's a really nice guy we just met him in the hallway he was like that no no no no no

just not him he must not have met him no you know if you met him in the hallway. He was like that, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not him, you must not have met him. No, you'd know if you met him. No, he's got all just big bags under his eyes and just cause what fights when he walks and all he does is swear, he's got snake hair and he's just, he's just disgusting. He's, you know, the ear wax dripping out of him. No, no, he's got no, he's got hair,

but it's like Medusa level. Where's the diaper cause it is dye dye? He's always wagging himself, he steals wheel hair, but it's like Medusa level. Where's the diaper? Cause it is die, die. He's always wagging himself. He steals wheelchairs from those who need them. He's just absolutely disgusting. The scrape isn't at all. No, it is exactly what he is. No, it's just every time he talks he bites.

He's awful. I've seen yeah, dogs are run away from him because he's got his biting. Yeah, the only thing you drink is water from a bin. You know, you drink big, bad water. The juice that comes out from bins, that's all he drinks. Oh, you've seen, you know the type.

No, he's just gone, one uni brow. It looks like it should be an oasis. He's awful. Stay away from him. He's got a big hole in his throat. And it also talks and it's shouting. It's always shouting at you. Hey, you wouldn't like this gentleman at all. He's absolutely disgraceful

Yeah, all they'll do is every time he says a firby hits a woman and every time he says a now he punches a man and every time he says Adjunct TV shows a child We just never have every puppet told and urinated. He's got it literally every puppet pool in urinated. And he wears that straight bathing costume. The one that they wear, it looks like it's always, it's got to take top and the bottom, it's connected to one.

And he wears those, but he's got a little flap at the front where he pulls out his tiny tajerelly as a whiz. He makes us, he does a slash through it. That bathing suit is called the Brit. Yes, and because he's poisoned us against ourselves, he's a propagandaist. He's a propagandaist is what he is, and he's done it, but he's done it in a horrible way.

He's an improper, agandist. It's all full of the way he's done this. Everything he does turns to crap. He's stolen every recipe he's ever tried. Ah, he shouldn't see that one coming. You know, ah, that's true. Yeah. He only is he, he ate my best friend's brain.

I thought Jack offered dog wants. We'll see you in the room. I thought Jack offered dog wants. You hear that bit? Yes. Yeah, I saw Jack it off once. And I said, please stop. And he said, not until he finishes.

And I said, that dog's been neutered and he said, there was still one short left in it. All right, bye. No, it didn't go anywhere. There's more. He's done a lot of other things. No, I've, yeah. Thank you.

Do you want to have five more things he's done? No, no, no. I've got a lot more. I know it. There's plenty left. Don't try to, thank you. Who are you going to believe him or the people who have only done good for the world? No, mama. So as Prime Minister Mo Sa'degh freed peasants

from forced labor on their landl order states, he made factory owners pay benefits for sick and injured workers. He established unemployment compensation. He took 20% of the money landlords profits and put it in a fund to paid for development projects like pest control, rural housing, and public baths. He supported women's rights. He gave women the right to vote. He defended religious freedom. He allowed courts and universities to function freely. He expelled the British,

nationalized the oil industry, and he often conducted official government business from his bed in his pajamas. I left that last because that's the best thing. It's like a fuck you to Churchill. So he is. Damn, that's quite a resume. He is a lefty helping his people.

Yeah. That's what we just described. A guy who's helping his people. Yeah, it's always shocking what what how far away we get from. It's just very obvious. You know, that's the way to go. Yeah. In July 1952, Mo said, dig got another two-year term by the Moschless. He then asked the shot to give up control of the war ministry and the army to the modulus It was an unprecedented demand by a prime minister and the Shaw was Outraged without a war Ministry he would just be a figurehead

He said he was he would pack his suitcase and leave before he'd lose his army. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. All right. Off you go. So Moe Saddegg stands up, starts leaving. And the Shaw is afraid that he is gonna go to the streets

and rile the people up against him. So the Shaw runs to the door and throws his body across it. This is like a Tennessee William scene. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. All right. I'm out here. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What are you? What? Come on. I mean, don't go. Where are you going? We're negotiating. Would you just relax? You just said no. Hello,, meet hyper bully. Have you ever heard of it? Take a seat. No need to go out there. That's where the streets are.

Stick around. Let's negotiate for a while. I just could to see you. Hello. Hi. Hi. You always get me always get me with that. Yeah. I always get you with that one. I'm fine if we met.

Uh, Mo sad, DeG insists the shot step aside, but the shot refuses. And after a couple of minutes of standoff, Mo Saddegg gasped and fainted. The next morning in bed recovering, he resigns. And he writes to the Shah, quote, "'I cannot continue in office without having responsibility for the Ministry of War, and since your majesty did not concede this, I feel I do not enjoy the confidence of the sovereign and therefore offer my resignation to pave the way for another government which might be able to carry out your majesty's wishes.

Oh, it's so good. He's like, he's just very adapted this. He's very good at this. He's very good at this. He's very good at this. So the British are thrilled. They, their enemy has taken himself out there. Fucking so excited. They pick another successor who was a four time ex prime Iranian prime minister. Oh, you've got to use and he's been Prime Minister four times. He's known the Shah since he was a baby and the Shah does what the British want and he accepts the new Prime Minister they picked. So Ghavolm goes immediately to the radio station to denounce Mo Saagdeg. He declares the ship has a new captain and Iran's day of retribution has come. Now most Iranians have no idea that Mo sad dig is out of power until they hear this guy on the radio. And when they did,

they went, bat shit fucking crazy. They go into the streets, they're chanting death or mo sad dig. God damn. Gov'alm orders cops to attack and suppress them, but the cops are like, no. And some cops start joining the protesters. I have like, I'm like uprising horny. I atola Kashini who had learned that the new PM plans to arrest him, issues a fatwa ordering soldiers to join the rebellion, calling it, quote, a holy war against the imperialists. Wow.

The Communist militants join. Jesus Christ. This is come one, come all. Some soldiers open fire in parts of Tehran, killing dozens. Young military officers, however, are talking about mutiny. National front leaders then call for a general strike within hours the country is paralyzed. The Shah then asked for the new PM's resignation. I was just, I did radio. His term last four days, that's how long his term was.

It's pretty good. It's like, that's what we call a, that's what we call a, uh, fuck, what's her goddamn name? What's her name? What's her name? Let's trust. Unless she's a trust. It's a trust. I love the chest to go to all functions for ex prime ministers. And she's always.

Well, but she just, remember, she just made the cutoff for like lifetime pension. Yeah. I'm not going to back down. That's not who I am. Where's Liz Truss? She left. So the shot tells Mo sad dig. He would give him control of the war ministry. The next day, Mo Saddeh is prime minister again. God damn. God damn. Now it looks like the British are fucked.

Mo Saddeh is back in power. He's more popular than ever. Now the Truman administration had not joined the British because of most saddegs incredible popularity. So this is a time when America kind of even had a modicum of giving a fuck. Yes, a little bit. The international court of justice had turned down Anglai

Renians appeal. The United Nations pretty much supported Iran. And then, then Dwight Eisenhower was elected president. Oh, God. And Dwight and his guys. Yeah, because he was a military man, right? Don't like lefties. Yeah. So now the Americans here, and that's the end of part one. Oh God, damn it. It's the worst, just the worst, just the fucking worst. Just, uh, it's, it's like when you hear about a figure like that, you,

you are, you're so part of it is that, you know, they're put down so easily now that those, I mean, every now and then, one of them breaks through some places. Well, I mean, for the most part, I mean, for the living, they did. They had a fascist takeover or whatever the fuck that was. It was a really crazy grip that took over. But he got back in power.

So sometimes the CIA doesn't get what they want. No, but most times, but it's also, but I mean, for this country, it's like, we, I mean, it's what you see all the time on fucking social media where you're just like, why are you supporting the establishment? Like, that is, you know, like,

we never, that figure is taken down in America so simply and easily. Most times it's a self-tanked down. Most times it would be like watching a wrestler put themselves in a full Nelson, the second they get sworn in. But even when there is like some smoke, it just done take much.

Done take much to just completely suppress it or cheat it or, you know, and I think a lot, I think when you hear that ending, you know, or half ending, yeah, it's this threat of we're done taking your shit, you know, is really what has to happen. But then you look at that combined with now with the state of how they are so prepared for it now and they're just like, hey, how about robot bomb dogs? Or how about- I mean, but that's what makes Cuba amazing.

That's what makes what? Cuba amazing. Yes, yep. That's what makes what? Cuba amazing. Yes. Yeah. Cuba's fucking amazing that they have, like, amazing, remarkable. Like the America's attempts to destroy Cuba are astounding. Which is why they're so villainized. Just totally.
